Awards Night 2012 - Soirée d'honneur 2012

Report:

A good time was had by all! We were charmed by the representatives of Picadilly and Homemade bakeries, honoured for their contribution to local life over the years, Sia Cyristis and Margaret Adie respectively. Speaker Merrily Weisbord told about little-known, local socialist activists of the 50's and encouraged us to do more digging by doing Oral History interviews. The buffet was enjoyed by all, with special thanks to John, Stephanie and Nicolina who presided at the ticket table and, with Sasha, kept things running smoothly. At the 3rd Annual General Meeting that preceded the dinner, two new board members were named to their first two-year terms: Nicolina Sindici as Treasurer and Nick Semeniuk as a director.

The PARK EXTENSION HISTORICAL SOCIETY invites you to an entertaining evening to recognize the history of our bakeries in the south part of the neighbourhood and to hear a presentation and reading by journalist, author and former resident Merrily Weisbord. An Indian buffet dinner is included.
